The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

Last week at the U.K.'s Twycross Zoo, Ganesh the baby elephant celebrated his first birthday.  Ganesh weighed in at a tremendous 300 kilograms or roughly 660 pounds! The "toddler" shares a birthday with his auntie Tara, who turned 12 on the same day.

    I hope the celebration got a little more festive after the weigh-in! Birthdays should be full of smiles!! 8-D

    I was always told to smile for a camera… not to mention if I got to work with that little (ish) sweetheart I think I might be able to muster up a grin….

    I know, right? Perhaps they were hoping for a different weigh-in result.

    Ha ha! My thoughts exactly. If I was weighing a cute baby elephant I’d be all smiles … and more so for a birthday weigh-in. :)Maybe they were having a bad day?
